Driver Faces Concealed-weapon Charge

Police Officer G. Torres said he responded to a complaint from a man who claimed another man got out of a large green Ford, pointed a gun to his head, then got back in the car and drove away without firing.

Torres said he later spotted a vehicle matching the description given by the complainant at 10th Avenue South and South Dixie Highway. Torres approached the car and told the occupant, Marshall, to get out, the officer said.

He said he saw Marshall make a quick move with his right hand shoving something under the seat.

With the assistance of Sgt. D. Rogers, Torres pulled Marshall out of the car, looked in and saw the outline of a blue handgun under the right front passenger seat, the officer said.

Torres said he found a .357-caliber Dan Wesson revolver loaded with six rounds.

The gun was concealed, but was easily accessible to the car`s occupant, which is a violation of state laws, Torres said. Marshall was taken to the Palm Beach County Jail.
